Gullibles, Libertarians, Partisans, Shills
September 3, 2009 -- In a letter today to the San Francisco
Chronicle, I wrote:
Dear Editor,
In raucous town halls around the country, opponents to proposed
health care reforms seem mostly to fall into four categories that
I label as follows:
-
The Gullibles -- listeners to right-wing talk radio screeds
and outright fabrications such as Palin's death panels
-
The Libertarians -- those who oppose government in any
form or role and view its actions (except perhaps military
and law enforcement) as intrusion and theft-by-taxation
-
The Shills -- militant loudmouths delivered by buses
paid for by Big Pharma and Big Insurance
-
The Partisans -- those who hope to see Obama fail
at any cost (to these people, expense, outcomes,
and quality of life are irrelevant... all that
matters is Republicans "winning")
Every opinion deserves to be heard but now let's recognize the
uninformed ones for what they are, move on, and get the job done!
Thanks for listening,
Dan Keller
PS -- They didn't publish it. Perhaps next time.
